My estimated and dear n99,
as you have noticed I approach to you with the humbleness of a piggeon wondering if you, in your godlike position, could take my comments as if they were from your holy mother. I've noticed that your -shocking and admirable- work is partly related with a movie -which I, with the same humble spirit as before, don't like nor support- and I think that you could have done it better. Please! Excuse me from being so direct, but it's the only way I can approach to your sensible and kind being.
Hoping that none of this comments hurt you and expecting a warm welcome from your side, your humble servant takes leave.
Yours sincerely,
Caracol

It is with great admiration that I took notice of the chosen style and form of your comment, which, for reasons of coherency, I have quoted above. Here, obviously, is someone who understands the distinction between 'copying of' and 'expanding on', as well as having the mental faculties to appreciate the finer points of culturally flavoured humour. Street-activism, whether in the form of graffiti, ad-busting or protest marches, is, by its very nature, a comment on social and cultural structures - in this case, the combined banks of the world as a single, and possibly sentient entity on one side and a dark, nihilistic and ultimately rebellious book on the other.
Unfortunately not all of My Children are as gifted as you, but your comment soothed my wrath - like a father who has lost patience with one of his offspring, I shall make amends. After all, the offending culprit in this case is just a boy, and one with a very inferior brain capacity. He is not to blame for the failings of his mind, and will hopefully be able to appreciate the nuances of culture when he grows up.
I'm grateful for the reminder of what it means to be a Guiding Light, and having found my own.
Yours sincerely,
n99
